Logic Protocol Analyzer for PCI Express
A Complete Solution for Physical through Protocol Layer Debug
The TLA7SA00 Series logic protocol analyzer modules provide an innovative approach to PCI Express validation that spans all layers of the protocol from the physical layer to the transaction layer. Feature rich software provides improved information density for viewing statistical summary and protocol analysis using innovative Transaction and Summary Profile windows. Hardware capabilities including hardware acceleration, OpenEYE, ScopePHY, and FastSYNC provide fast access to data and helps shorten the time it takes to build confidence in the test system. Powerful trigger and filtering capabilities provide the ability to quickly focus on the data of interest. A complete suite of probing solutions targeted for various form factors and applications.
| Features & Benefits |
- PCI Express Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 Protocol to Physical Layer Analysis for Link Widths from x1 through x16 with up to 8.0 GT/s Acquisition Rates
- Comprehensive PCI Express Probing Solutions, including Midbus, Slot Interposer, and Solder-down Probes
- Nonintrusive Probing that Utilizes OpenEYE Technology incorporating Automatic Tuning Equalization Circuitry to allow Probing Anywhere on the Channel and Ensure Accurate Data Capture in PCI Express Systems with Channel Lengths up to 24 in. and 2 Connectors
-
